Hear

Imagine that everything was quiet
Close your eyes, try it  
Now imagine voices completely silent  
Imagine being alone on an island  
 
No music or emotion to hear  
Endless feelings of fear  
Never knowing what is near  
Never knowing what will appear  
 
What if you can't communicate  
What if the light doesn't illuminate  
What if you feel you will suffocate  
What if your thoughts they all terminate  
 
Hearing is a blessing to me  
It's not just a way to speak but to see  
It helps you feel free  
It will help you be who you want to be  
 
What if your mind you can't express  
What if your ideas you suppress  
What if you can't process  
What if your truth you can't confess  
 
What if they forget you  
What if alone is all you knew  
What if you could only view  
What if being heard was hard to do
